This section describes how to configure Apache Atlas to use Knox SSO (Single
Sign-on) to authenticate users on an Ambari cluster. With this configuration,
unauthenticated users who try to access Atlas are redirected to the Knox SSO login
page for authentication.

Note

Atlas SSO is only applied to web UI users.

Internal Atlas users have the option to bypass Knox SSO and log in
to the Atlas UI directly using the "login.jsp" URL:
http://<atlas_host>:21000/login.jsp.

Use the following steps to configure Knox SSO for Atlas:

Install Ambari with HDP-2.6 or higher. Install Knox along with the
other services.
